6 April 1445. Checked the nest: 5 eggs, The 2 Joey marked and
3 new ones. I think he checked it on 4 April, so 2
99 are indeed breeding (mother & daughter incestuously
with the sons/brothers!?)
20 April 1500. Checked the nest: 6 babies. One of the largest
weighed 16gm, putting them at ~ 4 do. (Band on 7 May).
8 May 1300. Banded & bled the 6 kids.
30 May 1415. One of the kids (DB/DB-Or)
he was mummified, partially blocking the
entrance to The hole. (Bands remaining were: --/--)
2 June 1530. 5 eggs, incubated, in the lowest hole in
the tiny sycamore snag. Measurements: ① 23.5 x 17.8
② 23.2 x 18.7 ③ 23.1 x 18.9.

21 April 1320. Lots of stores, none in any holes. Note: most
of the old nest tree (the small sycamore snag)
was disintegrated; only the low hole used late
last year remains.

19 April Stores: Yes,
6 July Stores: Yes.
1600. ! An unbanded baby (!) here, checking out a big
VO by the creek. Does it belong here? Did we miss
the nest? No one else with it so it's hard to tell if
it belongs here or not.
